Interaction studies have only been performed in adults.
This medicinal product should not be co-administered with medicinal products containing tenofovirdisoproxil, tenofovir alafenamide or adefovir dipivoxil.
Medicinal products that may affect tenofovir alafenamide
Tenofovir alafenamide is transported by P-gp and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). Medicinalproducts that are P-gp inducers (e.g., rifampicin, rifabutin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital or
St. John’s wort) are expected to decrease plasma concentrations of tenofovir alafenamide, which maylead to loss of therapeutic effect of Vemlidy. Co-administration of such medicinal products withtenofovir alafenamide is not recommended.
Co-administration of tenofovir alafenamide with medicinal products that inhibit P-gp and BCRP mayincrease plasma concentrations of tenofovir alafenamide. Co-administration of strong inhibitors of
P-gp with tenofovir alafenamide is not recommended.
Tenofovir alafenamide is a substrate of OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 in vitro. The distribution oftenofovir alafenamide in the body may be affected by the activity of OATP1B1 and/or OATP1B3.
Effect of tenofovir alafenamide on other medicinal products
Tenofovir alafenamide is not an inhibitor of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or
CYP2D6 in vitro. It is not an inhibitor or inducer of CYP3A in vivo.
Tenofovir alafenamide is not an inhibitor of human uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase(UGT) 1A1 in vitro. It is not known whether tenofovir alafenamide is an inhibitor of other
UGT enzymes.

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Antiviral for systemic use, nucleoside and nucleotide reversetranscriptase inhibitors; ATC code: J05AF13.
Mechanism of actionTenofovir alafenamide is a phosphonamidate prodrug of tenofovir (2’-deoxyadenosinemonophosphate analogue). Tenofovir alafenamide enters primary hepatocytes by passive diffusion andby the hepatic uptake transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. Tenofovir alafenamide is primarilyhydrolysed to form tenofovir by carboxylesterase 1 in primary hepatocytes. Intracellular tenofovir issubsequently phosphorylated to the pharmacologically active metabolite tenofovir diphosphate.
Tenofovir diphosphate inhibits HBV replication through incorporation into viral DNA by the
HBV reverse transcriptase, which results in DNA chain termination.
Tenofovir has activity that is specific to HBV and HIV (HIV-1 and HIV-2). Tenofovir diphosphate isa weak inhibitor of mammalian DNA polymerases that include mitochondrial DNA polymerase γ andthere is no evidence of mitochondrial toxicity in vitro based on several assays including mitochondrial
DNA analyses.
Antiviral activityThe antiviral activity of tenofovir alafenamide was assessed in HepG2 cells against a panel of
HBV clinical isolates representing genotypes A-H. The EC50 (50% effective concentration) values fortenofovir alafenamide ranged from 34.7 to 134.4 nM, with an overall mean EC50 of 86.6 nM. The CC50(50% cytotoxicity concentration) in HepG2 cells was > 44,400 nM.
ResistanceIn patients receiving tenofovir alafenamide, sequence analysis was performed on paired baseline andon-treatment HBV isolates for patients who either experienced virologic breakthrough (2 consecutivevisits with HBV DNA ≥ 69 IU/mL after having been < 69 IU/mL, or 1.0 log10 or greater increase in
HBV DNA from nadir) or patients with HBV DNA ≥ 69 IU/mL at Week 48, or Week 96 or at earlydiscontinuation at or after Week 24.
In a pooled analysis of patients receiving tenofovir alafenamide in Study 108 and Study 110 at
Week 48 (N = 20) and Week 96 (N = 72), no amino acid substitutions associated with resistance totenofovir alafenamide were identified in these isolates (genotypic and phenotypic analyses).
In virologically suppressed patients receiving tenofovir alafenamide following switch from tenofovirdisoproxil treatment in Study 4018, through 96 weeks of tenofovir alafenamide treatment one patientin the tenofovir alafenamide-tenofovir alafenamide group experienced a virologic blip (one visit with
HBV DNA ≥ 69 IU/mL) and one patient in the tenofovir disoproxil-tenofovir alafenamide groupexperienced a virologic breakthrough. No HBV amino acid substitutions associated with resistance totenofovir alafenamide or tenofovir disoproxil were detected through 96 weeks of treatment.
In paediatric Study 1092, 30 patients aged 12 to < 18 years and 9 patients aged 6 to < 12 yearsreceiving tenofovir alafenamide qualified for resistance analysis at Week 24. No HBV amino acidsubstitutions associated with resistance to tenofovir alafenamide were detected through 24 weeks oftreatment. At Week 48, 31 patients aged 12 to < 18 years and 12 patients aged 6 to < 12 yearsqualified for resistance analysis (both tenofovir alafenamide group and placebo roll over to tenofoviralafenamide group at Week 24). No HBV amino acid substitutions associated with resistance totenofovir alafenamide were detected through 48 weeks of treatment.
Cross-resistanceThe antiviral activity of tenofovir alafenamide was evaluated against a panel of isolates containingnucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor mutations in HepG2 cells. HBV isolates expressing thertV173L, rtL180M, and rtM204V/I substitutions associated with resistance to lamivudine remainedsusceptible to tenofovir alafenamide (< 2-fold change in EC50). HBV isolates expressing the rtL180M,rtM204V plus rtT184G, rtS202G, or rtM250V substitutions associated with resistance to entecavirremained susceptible to tenofovir alafenamide. HBV isolates expressing the rtA181T, rtA181V, orrtN236T single substitutions associated with resistance to adefovir remained susceptible to tenofoviralafenamide; however, the HBV isolate expressing rtA181V plus rtN236T exhibited reducedsusceptibility to tenofovir alafenamide (3.7-fold change in EC50). The clinical relevance of thesesubstitutions is not known.
Clinical dataThe efficacy and safety of tenofovir alafenamide in patients with CHB are based on 48- and 96-weekdata from two randomised, double-blind, active-controlled studies, Study 108 and Study 110. Thesafety of tenofovir alafenamide is also supported by pooled data from patients in Studies 108 and 110who remained on blinded treatment from Week 96 through Week 144 and additionally from patientsin the open-label phase of Studies 108 and 110 from Week 96 through Week 144 (N = 360 remainedon tenofovir alafenamide; N = 180 switched from tenofovir disoproxil to tenofovir alafenamide at
Week 96).
In Study 108, HBeAg-negative treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients with compensatedliver function were randomised in a 2:1 ratio to receive tenofovir alafenamide (25 mg; N = 285) oncedaily or tenofovir disoproxil (245 mg; N = 140) once daily. The mean age was 46 years, 61% weremale, 72% were Asian, 25% were White and 2% (8 patients) were Black. 24%, 38%, and 31% had
HBV genotype B, C, and D, respectively. 21% were treatment-experienced (previous treatment withoral antivirals, including entecavir (N = 41), lamivudine (N = 42), tenofovir disoproxil (N = 21), orother (N = 18)). At baseline, mean plasma HBV DNA was 5.8 log10 IU/mL, mean serum ALT was94 U/L, and 9% of patients had a history of cirrhosis.
In Study 110, HBeAg-positive treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients with compensatedliver function were randomised in a 2:1 ratio to receive tenofovir alafenamide (25 mg; N = 581) oncedaily or tenofovir disoproxil (245 mg; N = 292) once daily. The mean age was 38 years, 64% weremale, 82% were Asian, 17% were White and < 1% (5 patients) were Black. 17%, 52%, and 23% had
HBV genotype B, C, and D, respectively. 26% were treatment-experienced (previous treatment withoral antivirals, including adefovir (N = 42), entecavir (N = 117), lamivudine (N = 84), telbivudine(N = 25), tenofovir disoproxil (N = 70), or other (N = 17)). At baseline, mean plasma HBV DNA was7.6 log10 IU/mL, mean serum ALT was 120 U/L, and 7% of patients had a history of cirrhosis.
The primary efficacy endpoint in both studies was the proportion of patients with plasma HBV DNAlevels below 29 IU/mL at Week 48. Tenofovir alafenamide met the non-inferiority criteria inachieving HBV DNA less than 29 IU/mL when compared to tenofovir disoproxil. Treatment outcomesof Study 108 and Study 110 through Week 48 are presented in Table 3 and Table 4.

Changes in measures of bone mineral density in Study 108 and Study 110
In both studies tenofovir alafenamide was associated with smaller mean percentage decreases in BMD(as measured by hip and lumbar spine dual energy X ray absorptiometry [DXA] analysis) compared totenofovir disoproxil after 96 weeks of treatment.
In patients who remained on blinded treatment beyond Week 96, mean percentage change in BMD ineach group at Week 144 was similar to that at Week 96. In the open-label phase of both studies, meanpercentage change in BMD from Week 96 to Week 144 in patients who remained on tenofoviralafenamide was +0.4% at the lumbar spine and -0.3% at the total hip, compared to +2.0% at thelumbar spine and +0.9% at the total hip in those who switched from tenofovir disoproxil to tenofoviralafenamide at Week 96.
Changes in measures of renal function in Study 108 and Study 110
In both studies tenofovir alafenamide was associated with smaller changes in renal safety parameters(smaller median reductions in estimated CrCl by Cockcroft-Gault and smaller median percentageincreases in urine retinol binding protein to creatinine ratio and urine beta-2-microglobulin tocreatinine ratio) compared to tenofovir disoproxil after 96 weeks of treatment (see also section 4.4).
In patients who remained on blinded treatment beyond Week 96 in Studies 108 and 110, changes frombaseline in renal laboratory parameter values in each group at Week 144 were similar to those at
Week 96. In the open-label phase of Studies 108 and 110, the mean (SD) change in serum creatininefrom Week 96 to Week 144 was +0.002 (0.0924) mg/dL in those who remained on tenofoviralafenamide, compared to -0.018 (0.0691) mg/dL in those who switched from tenofovir disoproxil totenofovir alafenamide at Week 96. In the open-label phase, the median change in eGFR from Week 96to Week 144 was -1.2 mL/min in patients who remained on tenofovir alafenamide, compared to+4.2 mL/min in patients who switched from tenofovir disoproxil to tenofovir alafenamide at Week 96.
Changes in lipid laboratory tests in Study 108 and Study 110
In a pooled analysis of Studies 108 and 110, median changes in fasting lipid parameters from baselineto Week 96 were observed in both treatment groups. For patients who switched to open label tenofoviralafenamide at Week 96, changes from double-blind baseline for patients randomised initially totenofovir alafenamide and tenofovir disoproxil at Week 96 and Week 144 in total cholesterol,
HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol to HDL ratio are presented in
Table 6. At Week 96, the end of the double-blind phase, decreases in median fasting total cholesteroland HDL, and increases in median fasting direct LDL and triglycerides were observed in the tenofoviralafenamide group, while the tenofovir disoproxil group demonstrated median reductions in allparameters.
In the open-label phase of Studies 108 and 110, where patients switched to open-label tenofoviralafenamide at Week 96, lipid parameters at Week 144 in patients who remained on tenofoviralafenamide were similar to those at Week 96, whereas median increases in fasting total cholesterol,direct LDL, HDL, and triglycerides were observed in patients who switched from tenofovir disoproxilto tenofovir alafenamide at Week 96. In the open label phase, median (Q1, Q3) change from Week 96to Week 144 in total cholesterol to HDL ratio was 0.0 (-0.2, 0.4) in patients who remained ontenofovir alafenamide and 0.2 (-0.2, 0.6) in patients who switched from tenofovir disoproxil totenofovir alafenamide at Week 96.

Virologically suppressed adult patients in Study 4018
The efficacy and safety of tenofovir alafenamide in virologically suppressed adults with chronichepatitis B is based on 48-week data from a randomised, double-blind, active-controlled study, Study4018 (N=243 on tenofovir alafenamide; N=245 on tenofovir disoproxil), including data from patientswho participated in the open-label phase of Study 4018 from Week 48 through Week 96 (N=235remained on tenofovir alafenamide [TAF-TAF]; N=237 switched from tenofovir disoproxil totenofovir alafenamide at Week 48 [TDF-TAF]).
In Study 4018 virologically suppressed adults with chronic hepatitis B (N=488) were enrolled who hadbeen previously maintained on 245 mg tenofovir disoproxil once daily for at least 12 months, with
HBV DNA < lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) by local laboratory assessment for at least 12weeks prior to screening and HBV DNA < 20 IU/mL at screening. Patients were stratified by HBeAgstatus (HBeAg-positive or HBeAg-negative) and age (≥ 50 or < 50 years) and randomised in a 1:1ratio to switch to 25 mg tenofovir alafenamide (N=243) or remain on 245 mg tenofovir disoproxilonce daily (N=245). Mean age was 51 years (22% were ≥ 60 years), 71% were male, 82% were Asian,14% were White, and 68% were HBeAg-negative. At baseline, median duration of prior tenofovirdisoproxil treatment was 220 and 224 weeks in the tenofovir alafenamide and tenofovir disoproxilgroups, respectively. Previous treatment with antivirals also included interferon (N=63), lamivudine(N=191), adefovir dipivoxil (N=185), entecavir (N=99), telbivudine (N=48), or other (N=23). Atbaseline, mean serum ALT was 27 U/L, median eGFR by Cockcroft-Gault was 90.5 mL/min; 16% ofpatients had a history of cirrhosis.
The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients with plasma HBV DNAlevels ≥ 20 IU/mL at Week 48 (as determined by the modified US FDA Snapshot algorithm).
Additional efficacy endpoints included the proportion of patients with HBV DNA levels < 20 IU/mL,
ALT normal and ALT normalisation, HBsAg loss and seroconversion, and HBeAg loss andseroconversion. Tenofovir alafenamide was non-inferior in the proportion of patients with HBV DNA≥ 20 IU/mL at Week 48 when compared to tenofovir disoproxil as assessed by the modified US FDA
Snapshot algorithm. Treatment outcomes (HBV DNA < 20 IU/mL by missing=failure) at Week 48between treatment groups were similar across subgroups by age, sex, race, baseline HBeAg status, and
ALT.

Changes in bone mineral density in Study 4018
The mean percentage change in BMD from baseline to Week 48 as assessed by DXA was +1.7% withtenofovir alafenamide compared to −0.1% with tenofovir disoproxil at the lumbar spine and +0.7%compared to −0.5% at the total hip. BMD declines of greater than 3% at the lumbar spine wereexperienced by 4% of tenofovir alafenamide patients and 17% of tenofovir disoproxil patients at Week48. BMD declines of greater than 3% at the total hip were experienced by 2% of tenofovir alafenamidepatients and 12% of tenofovir disoproxil patients at Week 48.
In the open-label phase, mean percentage change in BMD from baseline to Week 96 in patients whoremained on tenofovir alafenamide was +2.3% at the lumbar spine and +1.2% at the total hip,compared to +1.7% at the lumbar spine and +0.2% at the total hip in those who switched fromtenofovir disoproxil to tenofovir alafenamide at Week 48.
Changes in renal laboratory tests in Study 4018
The median change from baseline to Week 48 in eGFR by Cockcroft-Gault method was +2.2 mL perminute in the tenofovir alafenamide group and −1.7 mL per minute in those receiving tenofovirdisoproxil. At Week 48, there was a median increase from baseline in serum creatinine among patientsrandomised to continue treatment with tenofovir disoproxil (0.01 mg/dL) compared with a mediandecrease from baseline among those who were switched to tenofovir alafenamide (−0.01 mg/dL).
In the open-label phase, the median change in eGFR from baseline to Week 96 was 1.6 mL/min inpatients who remained on tenofovir alafenamide, compared to +0.5 mL/min in patients who switchedfrom tenofovir disoproxil to tenofovir alafenamide at Week 48. The median change in serumcreatinine from baseline to Week 96 was −0.02 mg/dL in those who remained on tenofoviralafenamide, compared to −0.01 mg/dL in those who switched from tenofovir disoproxil to tenofoviralafenamide at Week 48.

Renal and/or hepatic impairment Study 4035
Study 4035 was an open-label clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of switching fromanother antiviral regimen to tenofovir alafenamide in virologically suppressed HBV-infected patients.
Part A of the study included patients with moderate to severe renal impairment (eGFR by Cockcroft-
Gault method between 15 and 59 mL/min; Cohort 1, N = 78) or ESRD (eGFR by Cockcroft-Gaultmethod < 15 mL/min) on hemodialysis (Cohort 2, N = 15). Part B of the study included patients(N = 31) with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B or C at screening or ahistory of CPT score ≥ 7 with any CPT score ≤ 12 at screening).
The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with HBV DNA < 20 IU/mL at Week 24.
Secondary efficacy endpoints at Weeks 24 and 96 included the proportion of patients with HBV DNA< 20 IU/mL and target detected/not detected (ie, < LLOD), the proportion of patients with biochemicalresponse (normal ALT and normalised ALT), the proportion of patients with serological response (lossof HBsAg and seroconversion to anti-HBs and loss of HBeAg and seroconversion to anti-HBe in
HBeAg-positive patients) and change from baseline in CPT and Model for End Stage Liver Disease(MELD) scores for hepatically impaired patients in Part B.
Renally impaired adult patients in Study 4035, Part A
At baseline, 98% (91/93) of patients in Part A had HBV DNA < 20 IU/mL and 66% (61/93) had anundetectable HBV DNA level. Median age was 65 years, 74% were male, 77% were Asian, 16% were
White, and 83% were HBeAg-negative. The most commonly used HBV medication oral antiviralsincluded tenofovir disoproxil (N = 58), lamivudine (N = 46), adefovir dipivoxil (N = 46), andentecavir (N = 43). At baseline, 97% and 95% of patients had ALT ≤ ULN based on central laboratorycriteria and 2018 AASLD criteria, respectively; median eGFR by Cockcroft-Gault was 43.7 mL/min(45.7 mL/min in Cohort 1 and 7.32 mL/min in Cohort 2); and 34% of patients had a history ofcirrhosis.

Small median increases from baseline to Week 24 and Week 96 in total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol,
LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol to HDL ratio among patients with renal or hepaticimpairment are consistent when compared with results observed from other studies involving switch totenofovir alafenamide (see section 5.1 for Studies 108, 110 and 4018), whereas decreases frombaseline in total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol to HDL ratio wereobserved in patients with ESRD on haemodialysis at Week 24 and Week 96.
Paediatric populationIn Study 1092, the efficacy and safety of tenofovir alafenamide were evaluated in a randomised,double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study of treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced
HBV-infected patients between the ages of 12 to < 18 years weighing ≥ 35 kg (Cohort 1; N=47tenofovir alafenamide, N=23 placebo), and 6 to < 12 years weighing ≥ 25 kg (Cohort 2 Group 1; N=12tenofovir alafenamide, N=6 placebo). Patients were randomised to receive tenofovir alafenamide orplacebo to match once daily. Baseline demographics and HBV disease characteristics werecomparable between the two treatment arms; 58% were male, 66% were Asian, and 25% were White;7%, 23%, 24%, and 44% had HBV genotype A, B, C, and D, respectively. Overall, 99% were HBeAgpositive. At baseline, median HBV DNA was 8.1 log10 IU/mL, mean ALT was 107 U/L, median
HBsAg was 4.5 log10 IU/mL. Previous treatment included oral antivirals (23%), including entecavir(N=10), lamivudine (N=12), and tenofovir disoproxil (N=3), and/or interferons (15%). After receivingdouble-blind treatment for 24 weeks (either tenofovir alafenamide or placebo), patients rolled overwith no interruption in treatment to open-label tenofovir alafenamide.
The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients with plasma HBV DNA < 20 IU/mL at
Week 24. Additional efficacy endpoints included change from baseline in HBV DNA and ALT, ALTnormalisation, HBeAg loss and seroconversion, and HBsAg loss and seroconversion.

Changes in bone mineral density in Study 1092
Among the patients treated with tenofovir alafenamide and placebo, the mean percent increase in
BMD from baseline to Week 24 was +1.6% (N=48) and +1.9% (N=23) for lumbar spine, and +1.9%(N=50) and +2.0% (N=23) for whole body, respectively. At Week 24, mean changes from baseline
BMD Z-scores were +0.01 and -0.07 for lumbar spine, and -0.04 and -0.04 for whole body, for thetenofovir alafenamide and placebo groups, respectively.
In the open-label phase, mean percentage increase in BMD from baseline to Week 48 for lumbar spineand whole body was +3.8% (N=52) and +3.0% (N=54) in patients who remained on tenofoviralafenamide, compared to +2.8% (N=27) and +3.7% (N=27) in those who switched from placebo totenofovir alafenamide at Week 24, respectively. At Week 48, mean changes from baseline
BMD-Z scores for lumbar spine and whole body were -0.05 and -0.15 for patients who remained ontenofovir alafenamide, compared to -0.12 and -0.07 for those who switched to tenofovir alafenamide,respectively.
BMD declines of 4% or greater at lumbar spine and whole body at Week 24 and Week 48 arepresented in Table 14.
